Evolution-A3 is a remake of the popular Armed Assualt (ArmA) mission, Evolution Blue by KilJoy.
Evolution-A3 features all of the original gameplay mechanics, either in their original form, redesigned by myself, or with similair community content replacing the functionality of the original outdated code.
- All features can be disabled/enabled via mission parameters.
- AI units can be recruited via bon_recruit_units at the staging base via action menu, and airdropped in the field via BI's communication menu.
- Dynamic view distance settings with CHVD can be set via action menu in the staging base.
- HALO insertions using ATM_airdrop via action menu in the staging base.
- Player loadout saved to user profile and modified via BI's Virtual Arsenal.
- The original Evolution sounds!
- BI's dynamic groups interface can be used via action menu at the staging base or at anytime by pressing 'U'.
- Meatball's randomWeather2 generates random, MP-sync'd weather throughout the game.
- Quiksilver's cleanup and BI's wreck and corpse management keeps the mission running smooth throughout the entire game.
- Overall unit management moved to UPSMON for complex AI counterparts.
- Headless Client implementation automatically detects and offloads AI to your HC.
- Pilot loadout requirements enforced to fly aircraft, includes auto-switching of loadout if you're in the base.
- Modular sidemissions that provide bonus points to all players, and extra bonus points to the players responsible for completing the task, including: CSAR, Defend, Attack, Defend the Base, Ambush, and AAA hunt.
- Officer and POW Capturing in every area of operation for bonus points!
- OPFOR support assets may be available at the AO including mortar, anti-air, CAS, and sniper support.
- Build structures in the field using R3F Logistics.
- All powered by vanilla ArmA 3 content.
The overall goal of this project is to bring Evolution Blue up to ArmA 3 standards while preserving as much original gameplay as possible. Minor additions such as Revive and Support Assets that delineate from the origional concept should be added with optional paramters.
